Strawberry Month

When I was a kid, there was this commercial on TV for a restaurant called Eat n Park. It had a jingle for strawberry pies, “In the very berry month of June..” That is all I remember of this jingle.

June is the strawberry month. I know Driscoll’s berries is having a big promotion on their strawberries because of it. Plus the farms around here do the Strawberry picking thing. Yep, it is the “very berry month of June.”

When I went out to celebrate my GBF birthday with friends, we went to a restaurant called Quaker Steak and Lube. They have these well drinks as they call it. They served these drinks in mason jars, with lids and you can keep.

Richard, my GBF and my unofficial creative control with some these recipes, said to me that these glasses would be perfect to do parfait dessert recipes with. he is right! My first thought was let’s create a strawberry parfait in these glasses.
